An introduction to creating and consuming Generics in VB.NET.
This course introduces you to Generics in Visual Basic.NET. It starts with a discussion of what Generics are and why they were added to VB.NET and the .NET Framework. We then move to a demo heavy part of the course, looking at how to consume the Generic types included in .NET and how to create your own custom Generic classes and interfaces. The demos start out as simple and gradually get more complex as we get farther into the course. We finish with a discussion of Generic Covariance and Contravariance, names that make the topics seem much more complex than they really are.
